Once again, HillyTown teamed up with a couple of our NYC music blogger friends to throw a free party during the CMJ Music Marathon. Tomorrow, (Tuesday, October 16) at Pianos Upstairs Lounge, from 1pm-7pm, we’re co-presenting 8 great bands, including HillyTown favorite A Severe Joy.

So, the Braids show at SPACE was canceled. Don’t worry, you’ve still got a great option in town: Saint Solitude is back in town again, this time with a show at Empire. Splendora Colt and Jon Zack open. Remember this fun video from a couple months back?

It’s that time again! Last year we threw a day party and coordinated the official Portland, ME showcase during the CMJ Music Marathon in NYC. It was all so much fun that we couldn’t resist getting in on the action again.
